    It appears as though you are very lucky. Ordered mine one the 31st and its estimated to be here on the 27th of August. What colour lid did you choose?

    Specs:
    15.4" WXGA Screen w/ Truelife
    Jet Black
    T7300
    2 Gigs RAM
    160 gig 7200 rpm HD
    DVD burner
    Webcam
    Intel 802.11a/g

    Chose jet black as I wanted a less flashy computer, the more color the more attention it grabs and sometimes that is negative attention in my opinion (thieves). Also, I think it would look cooler with that black carbon fiber vinyl on it than a color.

    I've been checking online and calling the status number 2 times a day since saturday. Still in pre-production. Hopefully this means mine will ship soon too. I also got the Jet Black, but the 1680x1050 screen. Shouldn't be much longer hopefully.

    Wow! Built and ordered mine on the same day. If it's true thevjm about the black, then I hope that means mines next or at least very soon. This is a funny thread. THE RACE IS ON!!!

    In Hand Yet? Mine finally SHIPPED. Now the race is really on! LOL. I guess it was a good idea to go with black. But now it has to make it over the pacific ocean safely. We'll see if the plane beats the truck! Hehehe.

    I ordered on 7/29 and it got shipped today.. I guess order processing speed depends on what plant the order gets allocated to, for assembly.

    Well mine will be on my doorstep at school on Tuesday, but unfortunately it wont actually be in my hands until Thursday, when I get to school.
    Here's hoping my roommate signs for it and puts it in my room so the second I arrive I can install Oblivion and BF2 and be in bliss.

    More attention is exactly what a thief doesn't want, and it's not like your black laptop will be invisible to them.
